According to the report, Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters that she is a person of interest to see if she helped radicalize her son, or had contacts with other people or other terrorist groups.

Tsarnaeva was put on the database after Russia told the CIA the mother and son were religious militants preparing to travel to Russia.

Zubeidat said she was not planning to travel to the U.S. in the wake of one son's death and the other's arrest, though her ex-husband was planning to, the report added.

Do you think she played a role in the bombings? Should authorities have acted sooner? Leave a comment below with your thoughts
